March 2021 Highlights

March 2021 

And March was filled with field trips and outings to enjoy the beginning of spring. Many of those events will be their own post, but here's a photo dump of the day-to-day. 

We would go over and do yard work at our future house most weekends. 

We got a new dining room table and then foolishly saved the styrofoam for the kids to "be creative" with. It turned out so poorly. This was when we were trying to get all ready to go for a beach trip but we had to spend most of the morning cleaning. Thankfully, Charlie remembered we had a shop vac which helped tremendously!

Walter started to enjoy his doorjamb bouncer. (I just recently learned jamb in door jamb has a b...thank you homeschool!) 

Edwin was generally not too interested in holding Walter so I had to document the times he was interested. 

Water bead Science

He had finished his level K language arts. (a couple weeks ago he finished another)  

Feeling his first Spring!!

Miles and Charlie enjoying the silly snacks class

And the Mad Science class

Got to go on a lovely walk with my little guy!

More brotherly love that needed to be documented. 

There's nothing like a long winter that makes you so grateful to be outside again. 

 Outdoor school.

More from Charlie's Mad Science class

Mornign walk to the park with my little guys. 

Everyone joins in on the silly snacks class.

Walter wanted all the snuggles from his brothers. 

And Max had gone over to help my uncle clean out my grandma's house. This is a sneak peak of some progress in the basement. (It's way more cleaned out now, but when Max took this photo last year, this was huge progress that you could actually see the floor)

And this is progress of the yard after we had cleaned up a lot of blackberry bushes. A lot grew back over the summer but we are making steady progress. 

And that's a glimpse of March but we had many fun adventures that I will write about next. 

Big boys/Little boys date

February 2021

 Last year our Charter school we were schooling with had a ski field trip. Miles and Charlie were excited to go and Max had gotten work off. The evening before the trip, large blizzards and poor visibility was expected so we decided to take the field trip a completely different direction. Max still wanted to do something special with his big boys so they found a cheap hotel at the beach and did a little overnighter. Edwin, Walter and I stayed home and had a lot of fun together. 

The big boys got to visit a favorite park. 

The sea was extra foamy so they had tons of fun with that. 

They also went to the dinosaur museum.

It makes me happy that Max remembered to take pictures.

While the big boys were away the little boys and mama had fun. First Edwin wanted to spend some birthday money at Target. He hunted for a long time and finally decided on this toy, 

We also went on a mall date because he needed new shoes really bad.

He picked some pretty blue ones (which wore out in less than a year)

We also made a library pickup and Edwin had a quiet afternoon "reading" while Walter napped. 

And he enjoyed putting his new toy together. 

When Walter was awake, we spent the afternoon at the park. Brothers came home in the late afternoon. It was a fun way to give all of our kids more attention than they're use to. haha!
